CALIFORNIA
If you are planning on taking your bike out to California, here is a route I think you will like. The scenery is beautiful and there are many sights to see along the way. Death Valley - This ride is different and hot (watch out for the sand storms). Take Rt. 190 to 395. It is a beautiful ride on Rt. 120 to Yosemite National Park. From there, you can take Rt. 120 to Rt. 49 to Sonora. There are a lot of twisty roads and it is a beautiful ride. From Sonora to Ukiah, take Rt. 49 to Rt. 20. Then from Ukiah, take RT. 101 to Rt. 128 to Calistoga. In Calistoga, you can enjoy mud baths and natural hot steam water. Napa Valley is a very great ride around wine country. Take Rt. 29 to Rt. 121 out of Napa Valley to Rt. 101. Going over the Golden Gate Bridge is a must do! Take Rt. 37. Pick up Rt. 1 to go down the Big Sur. It's a ride you'll never forget!

UTAH
Start at the 4 corners (where UT, CO, AZ, NM meet). It is a great experience. Take Rt. 160 to Kayenta, UT. Then take Rt. 163 through Monument Valley. It is beautiful experience. Backtrack on Rt. 163 to Lake Powell, by way of Rt. 160 to Rt. 89. The view is just incredible! From there take Rt. 89 to 67 to Grand Canyon North Rim. Make sure you call ahead for a room; they fill up quickly. The views are amazing. Backtrack on Rt. 89 to Bryce Canyon National Park via Rt. 12. Bryce looks like castles below you. Take Rt. 12 from Bryce to Zion. Take Rt. 89 to Rt. 9. Riding into Zion, you'll see spectacular scenery. Drink plenty of water; trust me it helps with the high dry temperature.
